It was way over the top though. He was taking it so personally. Good TV though.
I can’t believe the other dope was trying to make light of the situation and saying it was nothing-
Richie Sadlier is a drug cheat, he has no morals. Not surprised to see him make light of it
Kenny is great value. A very earnest man. he’s able to laugh at himself a bit too though
It’s refreshing to hear the lads being relatively positive about some of the best teams and players in the world playing on the biggest stage though.
Dunphy et al would have been telling us we were watching complete shite and that the game was in terminal decline.
Peter Collins talking about Enner Valencia getting a lovely ovation as he came back on after receiving treatment. The French fans had just finished a rousing rendition of tier national anthem and were still cheering and hollering.
Whoever is co-commentator for the BBC (maybe Michael Owen) doesn’t think Benzema is a world class striker in the same bracket as Messi, Ronaldo and Robin Van Persie
I think it is Danny Murphy, if it isn’t him then it is Phil Neville
Bill just said that Enner Valencia started out as a “wing half”.
Ridiculous carry on.
He’s switched to outside right now.
Chippy Brady gave Ecuador a round of applause at full time earlier such was his admiration for their display.
“I wonder if Jurgen Klinnsmann thinks in english now”
Classic Stephen Alkin there.
When it was 1-1 in Portugal-Ghana, it took Alkin around 10-15 minutes to figure out that Ghana and not Portugal were the danger to the USA. He kept mentioning their comfortable goal cushion over Portugal and seemed oblivious to the fact that a Ghana goal at that point would have put them through. It took a belated comment from Kerr before he considered it from the Ghana perspective and then proclaimed it as if it was a revelation.
Kerr has a great knowledge of the game and an even more obvious passion for it.
Him getting the chance to manage Ireland must still be one of the best Irish sporting stories of all time no matter how it finished up.
Caught a couple of minutes of Off the Ball on a drive there and Ger Gilroy was saying that Ghana might have even put themselves in contention with another couple of goals. How could you not know these things?
Ghana needed 2 more goals as USA had beaten them head to head if goal difference was same
Jim Beglin just used the term the “half forward line”
Goal difference wasn’t the same. Another Ghana goal at that time would have made it for and against 5 versus for and against 4 for the USA. Ghana would have been through on goals scored.
Was just about to mention that. The Russian half forward line need to be better tonight, according to Jim.
